no matter what you say this is just oh, sure... you think it's cruel and unusual for us to be separated like this only to meet at full moons and the rare lunar eclipse (oh-- forgot to mention that well we get those, too) *chuckle* well let me tell you I carry enough guilt around like a pack on my back filled with things I created in all their splendor yes, Man can create! something from nothing-- hurt and pain mostly I am a regular rack-woman I've doled out my share I get my loneliness all right but I have my peace. there's a lot of calm in what you're used to. |

"there's alot of calm in what you're used to" Wow! For some reason these lines had quite an impact. This poem is stark and bare, yet eloquent in it's simplicity. Great job! -Wren The thread of destiny Unknown by anyone Unseen by anyone Winds around your heart Moist with tears -Vampire Princess Miyu Theme |

Portia...before I read Wren's response, I thought "Wow!! Those last two lines!" He said it. Great work. Hardrock |

Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate it when people say what they liked about something I wrote specifically (not that I'm complaining about general kudos!).
